Claudin18.2 proteins expressed from HEK293 cells

Claudin is a protein family that contains at least 27 members and it was first identified by Furuse in 1998. It is a four-pass transmembrane protein that has been expressed at the epithelial-endothelial tight junction and is a component of tight junction strands, which are important for signal transduction and cell polarity.

Claudin18.2, a known subtype of Claudin18, is weakly expressed in differentiated epithelial cells of the gastric mucosa, but highly expressed in a variety of malignant tumor tissues, such as pancreatic cancer, gastric cancer, ovarian cancer, lung cancer, cholangiocarcinoma, among others.

As a result, it has become a popular target for immunotherapy, such as monoclonal antibodies, bispecific antibodies, ADCs and CAR-T therapy.

Limited by the surface area of the cell membrane and the potential cytotoxicity of overexpressed membrane proteins, the expression level of recombinant four-pass Claudin18.2 proteins is much lower compared to that of soluble proteins.

Moreover, it is essential to screen appropriate detergents or lipids to maintain spatial conformation and protein activity in the extraction and purification process. Hence, that makes it very difficult to achieve Claudin18.2 antigen with high purity, native conformation and activity. This tends to seriously hinder the development of drugs and therapies targeting Claudin18.2

ACROBiosystems has successfully generated full-length Claudin18.2-VLP and Claudin18.2-DDM/CHS with native structure using multi-pass transmembrane protein technology platforms, and their high biological activity is verified by ELISA/BLI/SPR. This satisfies the criteria of drug development.

At the same time, a high-quality integrated SPR&BLI service using Claudin18.2 is available for antibody screening, characterization and consistency assessment to support drug development and clinical declaration.
